More Changes!

Hey everyone, so. . . . just when everyone was beginning to think that Elder Watson stays in his areas for a long time . . . .that pattern has been shattered as I am being transferred! Change Calls came Saturday during our study time, which was unusual because they usually come at night. President Rawlings made all of the Calls for the mission this time instead of the AP's. 

 

Well, I'm off to a city called Vaasa, over on the West Coast up in the middle of the country. To make things even more humbling I have been asked to be the District Leader there as well. I think my heart has been beating at an irregular rate ever since I got the call. Just as things were finally getting comfy in Espoo, boom, I'm outta here. I am truly brought down in thanks for all of my many blessings and experiences that I have had here, and in such short a time. The Lord now has a plan for me elsewhere, as a leader, in a new area, with new opportunities awaiting. It's a tender mercy. I hope and pray my new district will be ready because I will need them as much I they might need me. 

 

I leave tomorrow morning. I think Vaasa even has a car there. :)  Also, a new missionary couple has been placed in Vaasa to head the awesome youth center up there, so that'll be cool to work with them.

 

So, for a last week in Espoo things went really well. We did a bit more service, got some cool new investigators . . .and a referral now with a baptismal date, and a good handful of other progressors. The work moves fast here, and it is moving forward at an ever increasing rate all across the country. I'm so blessed to be a part of it and witness it for myself. I bore my testimony in Fast and Testimony Meeting and said goodbye, and it was just one of those moments where I don't remember much of what I said, or of what I tesified, I didn't think about it, I just opened my mouth and the scripture was fulfilled. . . . the words were given me by the Spirit. I love this work. It's so true and so real.

 

There is so much to say but no time to explain! But I'll leave you with a man's desription of he thinks the Bible really means. . . .

 

Best Information Before Leaving Earth . . . .haha . . . the scriptures are truly the best information and source for happiness and salvation. Read them. Searth them. Love them. And the Lord will reward thee openly.

 

Thank you for everything. You're all great! Sorry,this is short, but I gotta go.

 

Rakkaudella,
